BFG KM2 40"
Irok Radial 41"
Mtr 40"
Looking for pro's and cons's.
I have searched about the mtr's, just unsure of price of the BFG's. Irok's i am leaning towards because of price but unsure of tire wear and tire damage to the irok.
vehicle wil be a cj8 60/14, v8 and more then half of time offroad, on road need to use as third vehicle.

MTR has my vote. was running Iroc and had a problem of one tire constantly coming off the bead no matter what tire was at that corner. Changed back to MTR and i was the only one this weekend without a puncture. Just my 2 cents. Will never buy another tire other than MTR.

I say test the KM2 and let us know how it works out for double duty!

i would lean towards the MTR and BFG with IROC last. just from what i've seen around the trail although i haven't seen the KM2 yet live.

Anyone have exact measurments of 40" mtr mounted? I heard they are close to what is on sidewall.
